At the Midwifery Clinic

So last Thursday, Melissa, Whitney and I went to visit a midwifery clinic here called Glory Reborn. One of the missionaries here set it up for us after hearing about our medical aspirations. On Thursday afternoons they do prenatals and then in the middle of the afternoon they have a teaching time and a worship time. All the services are free, including delivering your baby there, but if you require medication or vitamins, you have to pay for those.
This lady here, Jen, is doing her midwifery practicum here at the clinic. She was the one who was showing us around.

This is the teaching time. This week's topic was the delivery process.
Below is the worship time.


Us charting and helping out with the prenatals. We got to do a lot!! Melissa even did one prenatal completely on her own!
